The text in this book changed my mind about the painter. I still hate the crumbly stucco-like whites, but I guess *liking* the image isn't the point. I expected nothing but ugliness for shock value's sake, but I was wrong. I'm actually a little impressed at how much humanity is in Freud's paintings.
